牛人来解GWD 一题SC 急啊

According to analysts, an alliance between three major personal computer companies and most of the nation’s largest local telephone companies would enable customers to receive internet data over regular telephone lines with speeds much higher than is currently possible.

A.with speeds much higher than is

B.with speeds that are much higher than are

C.at much higher speeds as are

D.at much higher speeds than that

E.at speeds much higher than are
这题正确答案是E。为什么不是D呢？E选项than 后面跟的are，有人说是省略比较从句的主语(speeds that),变成
at speeds much higher than (speeds that) are，可是这种省略不理解啊？
省略speeds可以的，但是怎么能同时省略that呢？

塔罗牌

我想的是比较级后肯定是than
就没多想其他的了

nemiah

at speeds (that are) much higher than (that currently possible ) are.

D
"that" 如果是作为定语从句 （speeds） that  (are)  currently possible.
没有见过这种省略先行词，又剩去谓语，只留下that的情况
同时 ，会发现这种如果补全的话 ，than的前后很难平衡，个人认为如果这种补全应该是 at much higher speeds than speeds at which ()

另一种解释that 作为speeds的代词，那么应该用those

个人理解，仅供参考

此外，想请教下，b 中”with speeds that are much higher than are“
除了idiom用法以外，还有没有别的问题？

此外，at much higher speeds 和 at speeds much higher有什么区别呢？

ashlie888

with speeds much higher than is [“Is” does not agree with speeds.]

with speeds that are much higher than are [That are is not required.]

at much higher speeds as are [“Much higher…………than” is correct not as.]

at much higher speeds than that [Lacks verb]

at speeds much higher than are [Correct]

with speeds that are much higher than are [That are is not required.] 这确实是多余的
at speeds much higher than are [Correct]  其实我认为这个are也是多余的，去掉以后语意并产生混淆

at speeds (that are) much higher than (speeds ) are currently possible.  如果没有are，比较对象就不清楚，可能导致状语比较，例如：ØRice has protein of higher quality thanusual/everbfore/1000 years ago/people expected(状语比较）

不好意思，我不是太理解你的意思
我的看法是这题本来就是状语系统的比较，比较的是合并后的速度，与合并前的速度 ，
如果是可能有歧义，请分析下两种可能的意思

此外，想提出一点，看网上看到一些帖子，说
“I eat apple faster than you do 如果写成 I eat apple faster than you 按ETS的理解，从语法上就变成我吃苹果比吃你快，成了宾语比较。逻辑上显然不通。”

但是根据曼哈顿语法
"Right: Vishal eats more carrots than donuts. (donuts must be the object)
Wordy: Vishal eats more carrots than HE DOESdonuts.
The first example is not ambiguous (donuts cannot eat carrots), so if all else is the same,
 choose the first example over the slighdy wordier second example."

显然两种说法是互相矛盾的，而且个人觉得曼哈顿的说法更有说服力些，因此是否有兄弟可以提出例子验证这两种说法？

vinbobo

我顶，求回答上面的问题

PS:本题的助动词are确实需要保留，因为比较中目前用的是"are",前面的speeds实际是将来的动作，如补全，应该为“will”等将来时态，比较前后如果时态不同，应补足助动词

继续求一下验证
